Description
An account of the resource
Aim: Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) deserve special attention in health-care facilities for children with life-limiting conditions because these children have an increased risk for colonisation. To avoid nosocomial transmissions to other inpatients, single-room isolation is usually recommended. In the context of paediatric palliative care (PPC), such isolation counters the aim of participation in social activities for the patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of MDRO, the predictive value of risk factors and the incidence of nosocomial infections and nosocomial colonisations on a PPC inpatient unit applying a special hygiene concept that enables participation in social activities through risk-adaption and barrier nursing. Method(s): Two-year surveillance with MDRO screening of all intakes (N = 386) of a PPC unit on the day of admission and discharge. To determine the predictive value of pre-defined risk factors, logistic regression analyses were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic analyses were performed to determine the predictive power of the number of risk factors on the presence of MDRO. Result(s): The rate of MDRO colonisation at admission was 12.7%; previous positive MDRO screening was the only significant individual risk factor. Over the 2-year period, no MDRO-related nosocomial infections occurred; nosocomial colonisation incidence density was 0.6. Conclusion(s): Results demonstrate that patients with at least one risk factor have to be cared for by barrier nursing until MDRO screening results are negative. Following these guidelines prevents nosocomial MDRO transmission. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

Description
An account of the resource
BACKGROUND:: About one quarter of children affected with cancer die. For children and their families, the end-of-life period is highly distressing. AIM:: This study focused on how end-of-life care in pediatric cancer patients changed over a period of 10 years and if changes in pediatric palliative care structures were associated with quality of care. DESIGN:: Over a 10-year period, all pediatric oncology departments in one German federal state were invited to participate in a repeated cross-sectional cohort study at three time-points (2005, 2010, 2015). Departments invited parents whose children died due to cancer 5 years earlier to participate. Identical semi-structured interviews were conducted with each cohort by the Survey of Caring for Children with Cancer. In addition, departments provided information on their pediatric palliative care infrastructure. PARTICIPANTS:: In total, 124 families participated; 73% of interviews were conducted with mothers, 18% with fathers, and 9% with both parents. RESULTS:: Parents' perception of symptom occurrence, symptom burden, and effectiveness of symptom-related treatment remained stable over the 10-year period. Over time, the availability of pediatric palliative care ( p < 0.001) as well as quality and satisfaction ratings of care ( p < 0.001) increased significantly. A growing number of children received specialized pediatric palliative care at home during the end-of-life period ( p = 0.009). Along with this development, more families had the chance to plan the location of death ( p = 0.003), and more children died at the preferred location ( p = 0.001). CONCLUSION:: Advances in the availability of pediatric palliative care were associated with improvement in some aspects of quality of care (e.g. location of death) while other aspects, such as effectiveness of symptom management, remained unchanged. Further research is required to determine whether additional improvement in structural quality may increase the effectiveness of symptom management.

Description
An account of the resource
BACKGROUND: Multidrug resistant pathogens are a large-scale healthcare issue. In particular, children with life-limiting conditions have a significantly increased risk of multidrug resistant pathogen colonization. Official hygiene requirements recommend children, who are colonized with multidrug resistant pathogens, to be isolated. In the context of pediatric palliative care, such isolation adversely affects the aim of social participation. To overcome this challenge of conflicting interests on a pediatric palliative care inpatient unit, a hygiene concept for patients colonized with multidrug resistant pathogens, called PALLINI, was implemented. AIM: The aim of this study was to identify the nurses' attitudes and opinions toward PALLINI. METHODS: Nurses (N = 14) from the pediatric palliative care unit were queried in guideline-oriented interviews. Interviews were analyzed qualitatively by means of content analysis. RESULTS: The following four categories were identified: (1) safety, (2) effort, (3) quality of care, and (4) participation. All categories demonstrated ambivalence by nursing staff regarding PALLINI. Ambivalence arose from guaranteeing infection control versus noncompliance by the families, additional workload for patients with multidrug resistant pathogens versus lack of resources, impaired relationship with the parents versus enabling better care for the child, as well as enabling some limited contact versus the larger goal of genuine social participation. Despite this, nurses reported the importance of arranging everyday-life for the patients so that they experience as much social participation as possible. CONCLUSION: The implementation of a new hygiene concept is challenging. Despite positive reception of PALLINI from the nurses, ambivalence remained. Addressing these ambivalences may be critical to best implement the new hygiene concept.
